The Sabbath is sacred to rest.
Weary humanity must have repose.
fortunately bodily rest does not con-
fict with intellectual and moral inn
proyement, but is necessary to it.
The Sabbath does not restrict us to
sombre thoughts and musings. but
should be devoted to serious inquiry
into relations we sustain to our Crea-
tor, to our fellow-men, the obligations
that grow out of these relations, the
way to discharge them, and to cheer
full, edifyng social intercourse. So
long rs weighty problems OF human
life demand solution, SO loug as vital
human interests claim our attention
we cannot afford to let Sabbath hours
pass un~improved.

to Princeton, and while he was yer a
stranger in that region, he went out
one Sabbath afternoon to preach in a
schoolhouse where the theological stu
dents had been keeping up a service.
He preached n of his cubic crystal
sermons-giving the result of.years Of
thought and study in his inimitably
simple style. And one of the rustic
hearers said: i like that old man.
He is not learned like those seminary
fellows who generally preach here, but
| could understand every word that
he said.'"

quarter of Boston said it was like q
big, broad avenue, with tall houses on
each side. Al sweet-voiced Episcopal
choir-boy was OF the opinion that peo-
pie would sing a good deal In heaven.
